[thegoodguy]

hi, i need your help please.

i updated the bios of my systems motherboard <MS-7906 rev 1.0> it installed fine, but upon restarting the bios is now in japanese(i think) language.

the bios update also curropted my windows installation somehow, idk why so my system wont even boot.

and since the bios is in some other language i dont even understand , i dont know what options to change to boot from cd/usb and reinstall my preferred OS ,

please tell me how i can revert to the old bios or change this ones language.

Dear Customer,

The first screen in BIOS has a Language setting below the date and time fields. select English language. 

Japanese alphabets for "English language" ==> 英語

what the gbl84 said earlier didnt work for me, because the bios i had doesnt have any language option to go to with under date/time

i had to press f8 in the *main bios window* for the language options

*i use f10 to go in main bios,

setting the language using f8 in main bios did the trick for me, as it may do for you.
